When new ministers take charge of an administration; they should honor or TRY to honor their promises. I would criticize any minister or government that is as incompetent and impotent as this one. Maybe you should check whether their new villas are lit 24/7??

People should hold all these pols to higher standard than you guys do. Shame on the voters!

Ok I agree, but does blaming all the previous ministers (whoever they are) make the current one’s responsibility any less???
When you hold a position of authority and come bragging about reform, well you should stand for it and stop whining.

Yes, and it shall remain there for a loooong time, mark my words.
My theory is that the government(s), instead of having to invest($$$$$$$$) in new plants (God forbid), then hire, train, pay employees to run, maintain, network (kilovolts, anyone??), collect ($$), risk power theft or failing to collect..

..prefer to take the easy way out: Let the damn people PAY CASH for their private generators (Custom Duty,VAT), their maintenance (headache) and parts (Custom Duty,VAT), and most importantly MAKE THEM PAY CASH for the preciou$ Fuel (TAXXXXXXX,VAT)..

Imagine the government NOT having to invest a SINGLE CENT, from start to end, just comfortably collect the TAXE$$$$$$. (If this is not racketeering, I do not know what is!!)
My guess is that the crappy power situation lately is to cover for their newly approved $$$$-7-BILLION.http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/42658
Less EDL forces More Taxes (YESSSS!).
(Point to ponder for these Gentlemen: if EDL=0, what is the upper limit of the expected taxes?!!? and NO, it CANNOT BE infinite, you moronzzzzz..)

I guarantee you i saw this coming the day the cabinet “RESOLVED” their made-up SPENDING CRISIS.. ehem..resolved..
Once again, we quote:
â€œProblems cannot be solved by the same level of thinking that created them.â€ – Albert Einstein

WHY the problem still exists 22 FREAKIN YEARS after the ’75 war (supposedly) ended?
QED, don’t you think..
